New Bird Stamps

Philippine stamps are beautiful

Philpost has issued three new Bird issues -- P1, P2, and P7. As usual, the quality and artistry is top rank. Unfortunately, philately is not so strong here as in other countries in spite of the beauty of our stamps.

We will catch up when our citizens become more literate than technical in their educational and personal pursuit. I will not see that development in my lifetime. The tragedy of the Philippines is that since it was colonized by Spain up to now, we have not had a single leader who really loved the people.
